Looking to print form my ipad. I don;t have a bluetooth or Wifi printer so I was hoping to do it via using my macbook pro as a "hub".

This can be done with other mac computers, hoping the same is true with the ipad?

Not sure if ^ would work but if you've got Dropbox you could save the file to there and then op/print it from your MBP

depends what you are trying to print surely - I can read files on my phone i have created on my mac via dropbox - but it doesn't work for everything the other way round. You could get what you need to print on the screen of the ipad, take a photo of it (by pressing the screen off and home button together) and then transfer it to your mac (via dropbox, e-mail, or just via itunes/ iphoto sync) - then just print it from your mac.

not particularly slick though!
